The East Japan Railway Company… …is testing an experimental system that produces electricity as people pass through ticket gates. JR claims that this sort of human-powered electricity generation system may provide a portion of the electricity consumed at train stations in the future.
Having been in a Japanese train station at rush hour I know that there’s a vast amount of energy surging through the building, so this seems like a great idea.
But knowing the Japanese, they’ll adopt this on the subways and perhaps even implement a little system to redirect some of the electricity generated and impart a mild shock into the genitals of the men passing through the gates – just to get them in the mood to read their hardcore porn and grope the female passengers.
